With Miyazaki coming out of retirement, Studio Ghibli reopened with many of its past collaborators working on the project. He commenced animation work in July 2016, later confirmed by studio executive Toshio Suzuki.
Many of you must think, 'Once again.' But this time I am quite serious." However, Miyazaki later changed his mind and decided to come out of retirement to direct another film. The release of the film, which is stated to be Miyazaki's last feature film, is noted for its deliberate absence of any promotion, with Ghibli choosing not to release any trailers, images or plot details of the film in advance of its premiere with the exception of a single poster.įollowing the release of The Wind Rises, Hayao Miyazaki held a press conference in Venice in September 2013 announcing his retirement, saying: "I know I've said I would retire many times in the past. The project was described as a "big fantastical film".ĭistributed by Toho, How Do You Live? will be theatrically released in Japan on July 14, 2023, and will be screened in both traditional theaters and other premium formats such as IMAX. It is named after the 1937 novel of the same name by Genzaburo Yoshino, but has an original story that is not connected to the novel. This isn’t the first time he’s announced retirement (he did so after Ponyo, and after The Wind Rises), and he’s back at it again with How Do You Live?, an adaptation of the young-adult novel of the same name.How Do You Live? ( Japanese: 君たちはどう生きるか, Hepburn: Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka) is an upcoming Japanese animated film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli.
Other directors at Studio Ghibli include Miyazaki’s son Goro ( Tales from Earthsea, From Up on Poppy Hill) and Hiromasa Yonebayashi ( Arrietty, When Marnie Was There), who subsequently left to found Studio Ponoc after Ghibli went into hiatus in 2014 following Miyazaki’s retirement. The Tale of Princess Kaguya was Takahata’s final film before his death in 2018. But it is Miyazaki’s fantastical stories that have proven popular internationally, from the ecological war epic Princess Mononoke to the witchcraft and wizardry of Howl’s Moving Castle to the Oscar-winning masterpiece Spirited Away. The latter was by Takahata, establishing him as a more dramatically grounded artist as compared to Miyazaki’s literal flights of fancy.

And it wasn’t long before producer Takahata wore the director’s hat, crafting the somber Grave of the Fireflies, which played as a double feature with Totoro in Japan.
( Nausicaa, which we’re including on this list, was made before Ghibli’s founding but has been culturally adopted as part of of filmography.) Miyazaki has been Studio Ghibli’s global champion, and rounded out the rest of the ’80s with My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service. Studio Ghibli has been gently revolutionizing the animation world since 1986, combining an endearing and empathetic worldview with rousing adventure. That was the year of their debut feature, Castle in the Sky, which heralded the superstar team of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.
